EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Scenes in Edmonton, North London, 1883' offers a glimpse into the historical past of Edmonton, an area now part of the bustling metropolis of London. The image, published in the Illustrated London News on April 7, 1883, captures a series of significant landmarks and structures that once defined this North London community. Starting at the top left, we find Lambs Cottage. This quaint, red-roofed building, with its ivy-covered walls, stands as a testament to the rural charm that once existed in Edmonton. Moving clockwise, we come across The Rose and Crown, a public house that has likely served generations of locals. The Rose and Crown, with its ornate sign and inviting facade, was a popular gathering place for the community. Next, we see Edmonton Church, a grand and imposing structure that dominates the skyline. With its tall spire reaching towards the heavens, the church was a symbol of the community's religious and spiritual heart. The grave of Charles Lamb, located nearby, is another important historical site depicted in the engraving. Charles Lamb, a renowned essayist and poet, spent his later years in Edmonton and is buried in the churchyard. Finally, we come to Church Road, a bustling thoroughfare that connected the various parts of the community. With horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians making their way along the road, it is clear that Edmonton was a thriving and vibrant place in 1883. This engraving provides a fascinating window into the history of Edmonton, offering a glimpse into the lives of its residents and the character of the community over a century ago.
